Giannis Antetokounmpo draws Milwaukee Bucks's drop coverage scheme — sits the big back to wall off the rim and lives with contested mid-range looks.

Primary assignment projects to Jaime Jaquez Jr. (solid defender, 72 Perimeter D), Ryan Rollins secondary, with Myles Turner as the low-man/help.

Model lines Antetokounmpo at 27.9 pts (range 23.6–32.1) vs a 27.5 line — a lean to clear it (53%).

Biggest edge: primary defender — solid defender on the ball.

Model favors Milwaukee Bucks (58%), projected 113–114, ~227 total at 96.8 pace.
